Well, I'm building it: https://twitter.com/gduverger/status/1358073890279485445

Today I am launching Fitmeal v2!

4 years after I started working on v1 and it's still the simplest, most obvious way to track your eating habits—just text what you eat.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

When I was working on Fitmeal, back in 2016, I implemented a large NLP module to find food entities in text messages.

This week, I refactored that code and made it accessible through an API.

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Hi, HN. I made Crono. I've been working on it on and off for 2 years and I just open sourced it today.

It's still a bit rough around the edges, some tasks are missing (email and message), and I have to write more unit tests but it's a start and a foundation to build upon.

I was hoping to get some early feedback. Thanks.

I have always loved working on side projects. It has been a great source of learning and opened many professional doors. The challenge is that I have more ideas than time. Help me decide which project I should focus on in 2020.

As part of a design refresh of my personal website, I released version 0.2.0 of Screen. I would love to get some feedback and, hopefully, more people using it. It is open source under a MIT License.

Looks pretty bare bones (not a bad thing but is there any focus on a single thing here?).

I think it's just me but I find the difference between h1 and others too stark which could be a good thing for some use cases but without knowing what those are or what the focus is, that limits its usage.

Value proposition of your project might improve by focusing on problems others aren't. Not everything needs to be generalized (this area is too competitive). :D

Nice work!

Good point. Thanks for your feedback. I will try to focus the next version on a more specific use case.

On mobile I can scroll a couple of pixels sideways...

Oh, no. I can't seem to be able to reproduce. Which OS and browser are you seeing this on?

Thank you, detaro. Good feedback. I'll make some edits.

Yes, you would, if that's the level of sophistication you need. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a simple way to log anything without having to set up, deploy, and maintain a plugin or library, Lazylog might be a better choice. It's particularly true when you think of logs as more universal messages, e.g., user visits (like an analytics tool) or email addresses (for a sign-up flow). Very good feedback, Jack. Thank you for taking the time.

> or email addresses (for a sign-up flow)

How does this comply with privacy laws/requirements (e.g. GDPR)? Storing PII is a liability and you expose yourself to legal risks.

Edit: Just to clarify: it's not an aggressive question, I'm mostly curious what is your strategy about this.

You're right. Email addresses aren't the best example of “universal messages” for the reason you mentioned. Thanks for bringing it up.

Interesting. Could you provide an example?

I'd prefer to stay anonymous online. However someone I've worked with in the past recently translated this and makes a comparable amount from the residual sales http://www.lulu.com/shop/natan-dubovitsky-and-vladislav-surk...

I've been getting a good amount of requests for open sourcing it. It would require a few hours of work but I might take the time one of those weekends. Please feel free to send me an email (georges.duverger@gmail.com) if you'd like me to keep you updated.
